International Titles Confirm ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Is Plural
The initial reaction to the news thatRian Johnson’s upcomingStar Warsmovie would be titledStar Wars: The Last Jediwent something like this: “Ooh. That’s a cool title! But what does it mean? Who is the last Jedi? Is it Luke? Is it Rey? Wait…the plural form of Jedi is Jedi, so maybe it’s referring to both of them? Well, I guess we’re going to have to wait until the official international translations arrive, which should shed some light on this English language predicament!”
And here we are: the international translations have arrived andStar Wars: The Last Jediis plural, meaning that the title is in reference to more than one Jedi Knight.
This is probably a silly thing to care about, but it’s definitely interesting and sheds just a little more light on whatThe Last Jediwill actually be about. After all, Yoda noted that Luke would be the last Jedi on his deathbed inReturn of the Jediand the opening crawl toStar Wars: The Force Awakensdirectly referred to the exiled son of Anakin Skywalker as “the last Jedi.“However, the confirmation that this is plural rather than singular makes it clear that Luke is not the final Jedi in existence – he is one of thefewfinal Jedi in existence, which is a far more hopeful reading of that title. Plus, it confirms that Rey’s Force abilities are no fluke and that she’s being counted amongst those few.

And just to make sure this isn’t a mistake or a fluke, let’s look to the Spanish title. Yep. That checks out, too.
They’ve translated “The Last Jedi” into Spanish as “Los Ultimos Jedi” using the plural. So that that as you will.#starwars

And just in case those two magnificent languages weren’t enough evidence for you, the Germans have also gotten in on this plural Jedi business.
Because of how the Germans use grammar, we now know that “Jedi” is plural in “The Last Jedi”. Vielen Dank.pic.twitter.com/QupIQb4K8X

And wouldn’t you know it? The French translation aligns with the others as well.
The French title for the next Star Wars movie (“The Last Jedi”) in English is “Les derniers Jedi” — so plural.https://t.co/wcbztCMXgc
